I told you man, I know where some dens are. I even know the exact entrance to one. It usually looks about like that pic when you kneel down and shine your light in the hole. The place with the six foot plus snakes is right along a fantastic fly fishing stream. You carry a rod in one hand, a snake catcher in the other.

Sprague was low, 33 degrees, still much ice, and fish didn't seem to be biting. Tried all the usual stuff. Shoulda went to Rock,I guess.

With all of this lowland runoff I'm sure Rock would be really murky. Lots of mud from the inlet and even though it's a good sized lake it still unfortunately gets screwed up.
We have to be really close on our other area lakes. Liberty for ice out browns might be worth a look.
I just came back to Spokane from Billings yesterday and most everything moving was blown out.

Fished it today. Water is the lowest Ive seen in 20 years. Dude almost got stuck at the launch in his wifes minivan due to low water. 34 degrees. Quiet a few people. Looked like a big motorcoach rig of 206ers? Had a big trophy on the dash?

I knew we would catch fish, haha. While rigging at the launch, I noticed the guys by us were pretty "green " and overheard him tell his buddy he was told to use a #12 bugger so he tied some the night before. I offered some advice and some flies that work for us there and he kindly accepted. No other boats seemed to be getting much, and when these guys approached us on the water, he said he had caught 3 and a 4th broke his fly off that I gave him. I offered him another, and told my son to reel up. While doing so , my boy and I BOTH hook up nice fish while reeling up with these guys right next to us intheir boat.Kharma at work I guess !
